As a very young programmer looking to make some money along his studies in the UK, I want to know where I can find clients, or even start a portfolio that's more than a few open source projects on GitHub.

I posted an offer to HN to build their app for £100. Monetary value is obviously very little, but it's a token gesture that technically gives you freelance experience.

It was great to build my portfolio up; I'd recommend it if possible. It's much easier to land gigs with a freelance portfolio.

I would have a look around for developer job postings at your university instead of trying to track down and maintain commercial contracts.
